Be it known that 1, WILLIAM B.

In constructing I make a curb, A. The upper part7 B, is drawn in at the top and supported by braces or 'battens C, which are fastened to the body of the curb at C', and E is a strong cross-bar running across tne top, and the Wheel W and chain U are substantially the same as those patented to William B. Wads- Worth, January 27,1863,and F is the bucket; G, counter-balance. H is a spout from the bucket F to the deliveryspout J. g is a valve in bottom of bucket F. I is a rod running from the top of thebucket down to the shank tot' valve g. The bucket is attached to the chain u at M, and as the bucket is drawn up the back part is caught in the notches in the batten C at N, or the block o on C catches it, and the bottom swings forward over the spout J, and the rod I is held down by the cross-bar E, and that opens Jthe valve g and lets the water out through the spout II into the delivery-spout J, te.
